New York of 4th mo 1794
Dear Friend
Thine of 1st mo last was duly Received, and
the contents thereof truly acceptable,and altho I have thus
long Omitted Acknowledgeing the Receipt thereof, yet it
has not been for want of an affectionate Remembrance
of thee, and thy Beloved Spouse, for ye are oft the Compa=
=ions, of my Mind, with an attendant, and anxious desire
for your Preservation, and that the Blessing of Heaven
may Rest Upon you, as the due of Harmon, and as
the Rain that Depends Upon the Mountains of Zion
that the Precious Unity of the Brethren,may be
Witnessed by you, as a reward of your declared Intention
and Ready and Cordial Reception and Entertainment of
those Messengers, whom the Great Husbandman is pleased
to send forth to Work in his Vineyard, for if the giving
of a Cup of Cold Water in the Name of a Disciple, shall not
go unrewarded, how much greater reward shall those
Experience. who are giving the first, and Best fruits of
their Increase, for the Promotion and Incouragement
of the Precious Cause, O my Dear Friends, go on in this
Mind, and the Lord, Almighty, will be with you, and
the Prayer of Jabesh will be granted you, that he will
Enlarge your Coasts, and keep you from Evil that it
shall not grieve you, that this may be your Happy
Lot, is the fervant Travel of my Spirit, in the Renewed
feelings
